I fear I must be adamant in stating my demands.In this I am unshakeable. My initial sales price stands.I do not like this bargaining. I find it all a chore.I’d rather be off wandering. Business is a bore.And though I must admit that your demeanor is most affable,your offer is too little. In fact I find it laughable.It will do no good to counter offer. I’m set on the pricethat would reimburse me for leaving paradise.

I have no bottom offer. This is no power game.To nickel and to dime it is a practice I find lame.
The palm trees are all swaying, there’s hot water in the pool,and the more I think about it, I see that I’m a foolto leave this little Shangri-la. Where would I find its sequel?It’s clear that for the price I ask I could not find its equal!Here swinging in my hammock with a cocktail and my pup,I am so contented that my sales price just went up!!

Change not a hair of thy fair head if it be for me.I like you just as you are now from pate to chin to knee.Your shins, though, are too shinny. Your ankles too well-turned.Your heels? Shockingly callused. Consider yourself spurned.

It’s an exquisite loss, your going away,and it’s also timely, I’m given to say.You may find it inane that I’m saved while you’re lost,but it’s true that some friendships come at a cost.You’ve departed, it’s clear. This I so plainly see,but your leaving has given me something back: me!

Her ebullient nature sometimes seemed a little cloying.Others less endowed with cheer could find it most annoying.It seemed that her ambition was to slipcover the earthwith a shell of levity—a monologue of mirth.That others didn’t seem to have her appetite for humorbased on romance serials and hearsay and on rumordidn’t seem to faze her. Her allusions’ raritycoupled with her seeming lack of storytelling clarityfazed her not a bit. Though no one else seemed to be buying it,she kept on unrelentingly with her “pie in the sky” ing it.

When she asked us to sleep over, we had no trepidation,but this one-night segment of our motoring vacationwas a lapse in judgment we will not soon forget,for though we are assuredly most deeply in her debt,

we didn’t know the bed she offered came complete with petsnot to mention wild creatures struggling overhead in nets!We can forgive her for the kitten who just curled up on our bed,sometimes on the foot of it and sometimes at the head.

The puppy, though mischievous, we grew accustomed to,only suffering damage to a purse strap and one shoe.Successful in their recovery, we sealed our luggage up,opened up our bedroom door and exorcised the pup.

Flipping off the light, we offered gratitude for rest,closed our weary eyes and did our very bestto try to get a full night’s sleep, but it was late in coming,for our next visitation came complete with constant drumming

as various creatures of the night knocked against the nettinghanging down around our bed, we commenced regrettingaccepting her generous offer of a free night’s lodging.We didn’t know the various creatures we’d be dodging.

The monkey we grew used to, but not the kangaroowho boxed my husband’s earlobes and trod upon my shoe.The cockatoos and lorikeets slept peaceful through the night,but in the morning wakened us at the dawn’s first light

with such a loud cacophony that jolted us awakeand luckily allowed us to leave before the snakeslithered from where it rested, coiled beneath the sheet.And that was it! That final guest signaled our defeat.

For though we have great gratitude for the invitation,I cannot overemphasize the complete jubilationwe felt upon exiting that jungle she calls home.And need we tell you that the next time we choose to roam,

we’ll gladly pay the room rates for a first-class lodgings?We’re finished with the hassles and the terrors and the dodgingsthat come with staying with relatives such as sister Suewho forgot to warn us we’d be staying in a zoo!!

The prompt words today were hospitality, forgive, recovery and gratitude.
